I think the old Dijkstra quote apples now more than ever:
“The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.”
Whatever these things are doing, it’s not the same as what a person does. Trying to decide if whatever they do fits into the box we label as “intelligence” is completely uninteresting, in my view. What’s interesting is figuring out just what they can do and how best to use them, which sounds like a related question but really isn’t.
